Lionel Messi, Inter Miami's upcoming schedule: August matches, times, locations, TV

Lionel Messi’s fire start at Inter Miami isn't showing signs of being extinguished any time soon.

Messi has scored eight goals in five Inter Miami games that all resulted in wins, including an equalizer from a free kick in the 85th minute against FC Dallas. Inter Miami went on to win in a penalty shootout.

"You have this sensation that, he’s going to score," said Tata Martino, Messi’s coach with FC Barcelona, Argentina and now Inter Miami.

Messi Mania has officially taken over the MLS. Miami's matchup against FC Dallas sold out in minutes. Tickets to Miami’s road match against FC Cincinnati were listed for as much as $3,000 on the resale market. There’s still other opportunities to catch tickets if Messi comes to town, though.

Here’s everything you need to know about the rest of Inter Miami’s schedule in August, including how to watch and which games he may miss.

What is the rest of Messi’s schedule for August?

Saturday, Aug. 19: Leagues Cup final or third-place match, depending on Tuesday's result.

Wednesday, Aug. 23: Inter Miami at Cincinnati, 7 p.m. ET

Saturday, Aug. 26: Inter Miami at New York Red Bulls, 7:30 p.m.

Wednesday, Aug. 30: Inter Miami vs. Nashville FC, 7:30 p.m.

What happened to Inter Miami's match with Charlotte?

Originally scheduled for Aug. 20, Inter Miami's match against Charlotte has been postponed because of the Leagues Cup, the team announced.

How can I watch Inter Miami’s matches?

All of Messi’s matches will be streamed exclusively on Apple TV through the MLS Season Pass, except for the match against Cincinnati.

How much does an Apple TV MLS season pass cost?

Since the MLS regular season is past its midway point, the monthly price has been reduced to $12.99 a month and $39.00 for the rest of the season. Subscriptions can be purchased here using an Apple ID.

How can I watch Inter Miami-FC Cincinnati?

This match — which is a U.S. Open Cup semifinal — will only be streamed on the CBS Sports Golazo Network, a free 24-hour streaming network.

Are there any games Messi might miss?

There are six MLS stadiums with artificial turf, a surface that Messi has never played on professionally and that carries a higher risk of injury than playing on natural grass. There is a chance he decides to not suit up if the opposing team has artificial turf.

Portland, Atlanta, Charlotte, Vancouver, New England and Seattle all use artificial turf. Inter Miami only faces Atlanta and Charlotte on the road from that group.

Inter Miami's August match against Charlotte is at home, but they face the club to end the season Oct. 21. They also play Atlanta on the road Sept. 16. Barring injury, Messi should be on the pitch the rest of Inter Miami's August schedule.
